I followed the same steps as from over HERE when I made bandana shorts, except this time I used the pockets from the skirt to make the pockets of the shorts.
It worked great. I just cut the pockets RIGHT off the skirt. I even cut the bottom layer of fabric and kept the button. That means inside his pocket is a button that is only attached to a small circle of fabric, but since he doesn't REALLY use his pockets, I think we are safe:) I just sewed the pockets onto the front side of the shorts BEFORE I attached the 2 sides together. I sewed them on by top-stiching and left the edges raw. I think raw edges scream BOY, but I guess you could turn them under and have finished edges too. ANYWAY....quick easy addition to our CHURCH attire and probably the last pair of shorts of the season.....now on to making coats and pants:)
